One of the most pivotal times of my Christian life was the summer when I was eleven years old. Being that young student going into middle-school, I thought I had it all figured out. Due to my fascination with aviation and astronomy, I had planned to be not only an astronaut, but the first man on Mars. My intended path to that goal included going to an excellent university and become an engineer, then joining the Air Force as a test pilot, eventually leading me to become an astronaut. Quite frankly

This passionate interest in medicine, however, is not the product of an innate desire or motive; it has stemmed from reasons related to where I grew up and who I grew up with. A doctor must be willing to experience an adventure everyday with hurdles he must be able to overcome.
Ever heard the saying, “Mothers know best?” Well I really wished I listened to my mom going on my middle school trip, instead I found myself miles away from home strapped on a gurney. Wondering how the best day of my life quickly became the worst day, and all I could think was, my mom is going to kill me. Entering 7th grade, the moment I’ve waited for so long is finally here. It was the school’s annual October trip to the Universal Studios Park in Orlando.This wasn’t any ordinary trip, this
relationships I have with my high school friends will not all last. As the end of my senior year approaches, the unfortunate reality sets in that not all the friendships I have established will endure. Thankfully I will always hold onto the memories and impacts each relationship had on me. Moving on is healthy and losing touch with friends is okay.
6th Grade On the first day of school unlike most people I wasn’t nervous one bit. I didn't have butterflies in my stomach and I wasn't scared for the year, but there was one thing I was scared for…… If I had any classes with my close friends. I was so happy to meet all my new teachers that day, and see my friends after the long summer. I was ready for the new year to meet new friends and make new goals.

I have a passion for traveling and going on new adventures; I want to see all that the world has to offer me. I get such a thrill when I purchase airline tickets or find a new place I get to discover. I spend the majority of my free time searching for cities to explore and people to meet. In fact, my weekly planner reads, “Where to next…” on the cover in bright, bold letters. There was never a question or hesitation in my mind when it came to studying abroad in college— it was part of the reason
The summer course operated for the first time last year for a six week period from the middle of July until the end of August, the length of the summer holidays. This year we’ll be holding the course again. We did think about making the course longer this year and have a seven week course, as there are some schools in the area which finish term a week earlier than other schools.
